After some convincing, Stella managed to drag Marshall and Kayla out for food. She had messaged Keegan to come to the gathering, but he was busy with work.

Upon hearing that she would be out with Marshall, he could not help but feel a pang of jealousy. However, knowing that Kayla would be there, Keegan begrudgingly swallowed his anger.

“Pfft-“
